Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of surveys on the current practice of organization of procurement processes in business organizations and outlines the directions of changes that occur in the context of the observed increase of the importance of procurement. The research sample covered 101 enterprises both domestic and foreign companies. Rationale for the study is the lack of systematic analysis of the area of procurement and the need of such information for business practice. The article shows how purchase is performed in companies, what their role is, what procurement strategies are used, and how they are divided into purchase items. It also outlines the actions that managers are planning to take over the next 2-3 years in the area of procurement.
